Untitled 1968

This abstract painting, "Untitled," from 1968 by Mark Rothko is a prime example of his signature Color Field style. The simple composition features two horizontal bands of color: a vibrant orange at the top and a rich red below. Rothko's use of these colors, and the soft, slightly blurred edges of the shapes, evoke a sense of depth and emotion. The absence of traditional subject matter allows viewers to engage with the pure expression of color and the contemplation of their own inner experiences.
